Haxton and Andrejevic Tangle, Andrejevic Doubles

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Andy Andrejevic just doubled through Isaac Haxton, after he shoved all in on the river.

Haxton opened for 3,800 preflop and got two callers, including Andrejevic from the small blind. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Andrejevic checked to Haxton. Haxton bet 5,000 and the next player folded. Andrejevic check-raised to 14,500 and Haxton called.

When the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn, Andrejevic bet 25,500. Haxton called again. The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Andrejevic shoved all in, betting his remaining 56,600. Haxton tanked for a minute or two. He pushed away from the table and looked and Andrejevic, possibly trying to pick up any additional read. Eventually Haxton settled on a call and Andrejevic won the hand with two pair, {q-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Suzuki Races to a Double Up

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Takuya Suzuki was dangerously short and needed a double up otherwise this last level of the night would be his last of the tournament.

He three-bet all in for 21,700 with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and his raising opponent made the call with {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The board ran a blank {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Double up secured but he's still in the danger zone.

A Round of Counts

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Last Hand Before the Break Turns Into First Hand After the Break

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Michael Addamo played a hand that started before the last break of the day and his river bet sent his opponent into the tank. His opponent finally called after the final seconds of the 10-minute break ticked off.

The board read {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Addamo's bet of 31,700 sat in front of him. The players around the table were anxious to see the result of the hand that took almost the entire break.

Addamo's opponent shuffled his chips back and forth and finally stopped to stare at Addamo. He seemed on the verge of calling, but then he began to shuffle his chips again. By this time, several of the players returning from the break were standing around the table. Eventually, the player put half his remaining stack into the pot for the call.

After a second or two Addamo asked the dealer, "call?" The dealer confirmed and Addamo turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Which was good to win the hand with two pair. His opponent mucked reluctantly, and it seemed as though the {a-Hearts} on the river had snatched the pot away from him.

King Douglas the Second

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Pocket kings have dropped by to save David Douglas for the second time today, although - for a moment - it looked as if he was heading out the door.

After a raise and call in front of him, he moved all in for 16,500 with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and was called by one opponent who opened {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

"Ace!" shouted one table mate who was ideally positioned to see that the window card was the {a-Spades}. Then the table erupted when the rest of the flop came {9-Hearts}{a-Clubs} to give Douglas' opponent trips aces. The Brit was joining in the revelry which was audible to the whole room and then to the whole casino when the turn came as the {k-Diamonds} to make Douglas a full house. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Douglas, along with the rest of the table, settled back into their seats.

Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Erik Seidel has dropped a little after playing off Sergey Lebedev in a button versus big blind confrontation.

The latter raised to 3,200 from the button and Seidel defended his big blind to see a {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop appear. Both players checked to the {5-Spades} turn where Seidel led for 4,000. Call. The board completed with the {2-Spades} and Seidel check-called 5,500 but mucked when his Russian opponent opened {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Yat Wai Cheng is currently leading in the Asia Championship of Poker Main Event. A win would take him from 19th in the Asia Player of the Year Rankings to the top spot, with only two events to go.

Sparrow Cheung, Yuguang Li, and Ka Cheong Wong are all also within striking distance. If any of these players wins the Main Event, they would have enough points to overtake the current leader, Alan King Lun Lau. Of course, with so many of them still alive, the positions could shift dramatically should they all make deep runs.

Room 101 for Neilson and Li

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

No too long ago, Daniel Neilson and Yan Li both had 101,000 chips. This is no limit poker though so one is never far from busting. Unfortunately for these two players, that was the case as they have been confirmed as out of the Main Event.
